Q: Why should I care what color the bikeshed is?

A: The really, really short answer is that you shouldn't.

   [ annecdote about everyone arguing about the bikeshed, but no one
     arguing about the nuclear power plant next door.  The bikeshed
     is easily understood, meaningless, and the source of endless arguing.  
     The power plant is huge, complicated and confusing, so no one 
     comments about it. ]
